Finnish police receives Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake 350 CDI 4MATIC [video]

Offered by Tekniikan Maailma magazine

Finland’s police authorities have received a brand new Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake 350 CDI 4MATIC.

At the beginning of the year, local magazine Tekniikan Maailma (World of Technology) asked its readers which person or institution should receive a new car and they also wanted to know what type of model would be the most appropriate. This interesting inquiry was as part of the magazine’s 60^th anniversary.

The readers placed their votes and selected the police force is the most suitable entity to receive the gift, specifically the traffic control unit. The chosen car was a Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake 350 CDI 4MATIC considered to be the most compatible vehicle for that department.

The car is certainly up to the task thanks to its V6 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine delivering 262 bhp (195 kW) and 457 lb-ft (620 Nm) of torque which grants the vehicle with a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in 6.7 seconds and an electronically-capped top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Aside from being a quick and practical car, the CLS Shooting Brake 350 CDI remains quite economical as it can return 35.6 mpg US (42.8 mpg UK or 6.6 liters / 100 km).
